rescue squadron

Emergency response team

A rescue squadron is a military or emergency services unit dedicated to search and rescue operations.

These squadrons typically deploy aircraft, helicopters, or specialized teams to locate and extract personnel in distress—downed pilots, stranded sailors, disaster survivors, or civilians in remote areas.

The rescue squadron scrambled when the distress signal came through.
